This new board member is probably very good at spin - which will be useful as the company tries to persuade the New York Stock Exchange to reinstate its listing.

Absolutely hilarious. If her spin is anything like the Three Represents campaign, all I can say is that her strategy is to dull everyone's senses into accepting her spin at face value. I start snoring every time CCTV starts to talk about the Three Represents. To this day I have no clue what is being represented. And I negotiate Chinese language contracts for a living, so it's not a language issue.

Corruption is an unavoidable Chinese characteristic. No civil society = widespread corruption. Corruption is a huge part of mainland China today, thank god the British taught a part of China how to behave.

Bad thoughts Mr Hempton! Western man cannot appreciate glorious achievements of CPC and of our esteemed Chinese enterprises. UTC is laudable organisation that will faciliate all your travel needs - as outlined in our new five year plan!

I sometimes wonder how much China has learned from her interaction with Britian. I'm curious because one of the main lessons was, when you have your opponent at a millitary disadvantage, crush them and force them to buy smack at gunpoint.
